"Every man [woman] is a builder of a
temple, called his body, to the god he worships,...
We are all sculptors and painters, and our material is our own flesh and blood
and bones."---Walden, Henry David Thoreau

Has been running since
childhood; has done marathons, triathlons, fasted
for days, stayed awake for days, lived with very irregular hours, and worked every day with
alternating day and night shifts, meditated at retreats in the
mountains, prayed, worked as nautilus instructor, swimming instructor, studied at
Spain Rehab in Birmingham, ate 3 dozen raw eggs a day and 1 gallon or more of milk, lived
on milk free diet, lived for 2 years as strict vegetarian, tried just about every vitamin
or supplement in the health food store, milked goats, collected fresh ginseng from the mountains and eaten other
natural "supplements" too crazy to name--- all in effort to find out what really
works--- what really makes people enjoy good health--where you
feel energetic and strong.
